Today, my 13 year-old son had a seizure in the middle of his history class. We were at the hospital for three hours and several expensive tests later he informed me he faked the seizure so he could get out of a group presentation. He was so proud that he was such a good actor. FML

Today, I was taking an important exam for Calculus. Out of nowhere, the kid behind me starts violently kicking my desk. I quickly turn around and yell at him. He was having a seizure. FML

Today, I found out my son has been lying about being sick. He kept complaining so I took him to the doctor and got him some medicine. Now he’s actually sick because he took meds he didn’t even need. He did it solely so he could get an expensive get well soon gift. FML

Today, I finally got medication to deal with my seizures. I've had them since I was 5, but my mother had always believed I was faking it. When I seized during a basketball game, she actually came onto the court and lectured the referee for "humoring" me. FML

Today, I had RA training and we were doing mock situations. During one of these, I had a seizure. Everyone thought it was fake, until I started violently throwing up. FML

Today, I had a seizure in class. Being an epileptic, I had warned my professor of the possibility that I could have one in class. She was understanding and seemed very concerned about my issue at the time. After I had the seizure, however, she asked me if I had ever tried exorcism. FML

Today, I had the class clown of my preschoolers oversleep our daily 15-minute nap. Not wanting to spare any more class time on his disrupting jokes, I let the headache sleep. After another 10 minutes we called an ambulance. He had a stroke. FML

Today, I faked being sick so I could weasel out of a chemistry test at school. Happy that I pulled it off, I posted my accomplishment on Facebook. I forgot that I'm friends with my parents. FML

Today, I told my dad I wasn’t feeling well, to which his response was to interrupt me and say, “Nope. Not buying it.” I have never faked an illness in my life, and this time I vomited in front of my entire class. FML

Today, my son broke his arm roughhousing with his brother on a bunk bed. While at the ER, he thought it would be funny to tell a different story to each doctor and nurse, forcing me to speak over him. They found this behavior "suspicious" and reported us to child services. FML

Take that money spent out of any gifts/allowances he was going to get in any future holiday or birthday. Maybe that will teach him not to do something so serious.

Good actor??!! Not amusing or even slightly funny. I love FML, but this horrifies me, especially the ignorant comments. My child has Epilepsy. I've had to helplessly watch her have countless Grand Mal seizures. Try watching the person you love the most have a seizure. Efffff "good acting" how about a lesson in human decency and respect.

Honestly, find it a little hard to believe. I mean unless he studied a seizure; they're not like what you see on TV. There is almost always a state of confusion and no memory of the seizure or a few minutes after it. I assume it was a fake grand mal, the common one people associate with seizures. He'd have to have done his research to know exactly what to do to make people believe him. it would have been easier to do the presentation. I actually have epilepsy and have researched it.

I applaud him. I couldn't have done that that well.

I have to say, that's pretty impressive. Maybe he could become an actor?

Knowing how expensive an ER or urgent care visit is, that was very inappropriate of him to do. If he did not study then it's hit grade. That is a huge worry for parents everywhere to hear their child had a seizer!! I'm sorry OP! Hopefully they now understand why that was wildly inappropriate!

So he's embarrassed to stand up in front of 20-30 people and talk for 5 minutes, but not embarrassed to fake a seizure in front of them? I think there are more tests to run.
